RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MUSKEE (8) is becoming a real favourite of mine and my love for him grew with his brilliant first-up win at Bendigo on April 22. There, he sat parked throughout and charged away from his rivals to score in dominant fashion. It followed a great three-year-old season where he wasn’t too far off one of the stars of the sport in Mecarno. He has a sticky gate here, but with any luck he looks hard to beat. The other key winning hope is clearly CLAUDYS HERO (9). He was badly held up at Melton last weekend and charged late for third behind Heza Gun and Howdy Mate. He’s really in the zone at the moment and gets a lovely trailing draw. Fast beginner GEE CEE CALDER (3) is back from a trip to SA and is going well, while MAC FLICK (4) was trapped in the breeze last time and faded late, but her win prior was very good. BACK: MUSKEE (8) – 2 units (win)
